As a member of Todd Durkin’s Mastermind I got to sit in on his 3 Day Mentorship sessions this weekend.  As usual,   Todd always over delivers and his keynote speakers are always top in the fitness field. 

This weekend’s keynote speaker was Randy Hetrick founder of the TRX Suspension Trainer and Fitness Anywhere. One of the conference attendees asked Randy to share his biggest life lesson from 13 years as a member of the USN SEAL teams. 

Randy’s reply, “Lead from the front.”  He never asks his team to do something he hasn’t already done. 

Randy closed with Fitness Anywhere’s mission, which is to democratize world fitness by being able to distribute the same exercises that Drew Brees does to everyone. 

In my experience he is doing this very well.  Drew does the single leg squat suspension and is on a mission to finish strong this year down in New Orleans.  I have brilliant women doing that same exercise in my boot camps. 

If you get a chance to listen to Randy speak on branding – I say run!  He has a brilliant business mind.

A lean and fit lifestyle includes proper nutrition and strategic workouts.  There are a lot of conflicting protocols about how to eradicate the visceral fat that leads to the protruding belly and infiltrates vital organs.

The proven, most time efficient way to use cardio to challenge metabolic rate and lead to fat burning is through high intensity training sessions.  The good news is that these sessions are short in duration.  The not so good news is that they aren’t easy if performed correctly.

On Saturday, I got togther with a bunch of other fitness professional friends of mine and we shot some promo video for our friend, Susie Shina (middle in the gray top) of www.BeFitEnough.com.   The morning was hosted by Michelle Weinstein, President of www.OptimalNutritionInc.com.

All of the women have different fitness businesses.  Some of us are solopreneurs.  Some are facility owners or managers of health clubs.  The one thing that seemed so obvious was the air of collaboration.  We came together with hearts fully aligned to help Susie jam on her new, fab product in the works that will impact the lives of SO many women.

During the fitness video shoot a young woman came out of her townhouse to get her mail.  She was cute, fit and had her workout gear on.  Susie said that she was going to wait for the woman to get her mail, but that she was going to ask her if she wanted to join us.  We were all smiles while waiting for the interaction. 

After the woman grabbed her mail she said, “What are you doing?” with a smile on her face.

“We’re shooting some fitness video for an instructional product,” excitedly replied Susie.

“Oh, I own an all-women’s facility,” piped the woman.  “Do you all have permission to shoot here?”  Her tone turned.

“Yes, we do, ” smiled Susie.  “Would you like to join us?”

“I think that would be a conflict of interest,” the woman replied. “And, the neighbors around here like things quiet.  Hey, good luck,” were her parting words as she turned on her heels.

Needless to say, it never crossed any of our minds that helping another fitness entrepreneur would do anything but build our connections and reach more people in the process….but, we have the spirit of collaboration.
